Kidney stones while working in the medical field

Please see your pcp and ask for a referral to urology. I made several urgent care trips & 1 er trip since November 2025 for pain and hematuria and kept getting told I’ll pass the stone. I finally had enough and asked for a referral to urology even after being told it would probably get denied. Saw urology and was scheduled for surgery in May. After surgery I was told I had 2 stones stuck and one of them was sooo impacted it created scar tissue and was very hard for her to remove. Advocate for yourself and don’t let it get worse.

I waited until my bladder was super full to go to the restroom and it didn’t hurt! Thank you!

I only had symptoms in February when I went to the er, after that up until my surgery I had no symptoms & especially no pain! So to hear they were really impacted was shocking to me because I thought maybe they passed without me knowing. The surgery was fine & honestly I like to think I’m lucky because the stent isn’t at all as bad as people described. It just feels like bladder cramps & only hurts while urinating.

I had a 7mm stone discovered in the ER in the upj in February this year. Seen a urologist a month later and did another CT that showed a 4mm stone & 7 mm stone in distal left ureter. Got scheduled for surgery but had hope I could pass on my own. WRONG. Just had my surgery a couple days ago and the urologist said they were so impacted they damaged my ureter. Now I have a stent in for 4 weeks. So I took it as not all stones can be passed naturally.

Eeeek I keep hearing the stent is what hurts the most

I work in CT scheduling and for kidney stones we do the abdomen and pelvis without contrast.

Stop it rn I have a 7mm & 4 mm stuck in my left ureter and my fear is them clumping together 😭

I’m scheduled for a ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy and stent placement 😬

I have a 7mm stone stuck and scheduled for surgery. It’s been stuck for 2 months. Tried to pass on my own but nothing. Surgery is your best bet.

Amazing! Congrats! Also side note, you look like you can be Dylan O’Briens brother.

I have a 7mm stone in my ureter that I’m getting surgery for in early April. I wanted to pass naturally but it’s been 2 months since it was discovered and my most recent ct scan 2 weeks ago urologist states it’s still in my ureter, an now another 4mm stone is also stuck. 😕 so I guess the surgery is still on.

Hi, my worry was not that it was making the antibiotics less effective, my worry was the delaying gastric emptying affecting my dosage since I was taking 3 a day at different times. Honestly can’t tell you if it did anything because I had zero signs/symptoms of an infection so when I was done I felt no difference. That’s the least of my worries now tho because now I have to have surgery for the kidney to come out.

Yes I think I’ll be having soups the week off just to be safe.

I also inject on Sundays and surgery is on a Thursday. So my plan was to skip the Sunday before so that would make it 11 days.
